I have a 99 2.3 CL with 111k miles. I know the previous owner never did the timing belt/chain service ever. I was wondering if anyone could recommend or tell me around what mileage that service has to be done. Any info for the tune-up I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You. If anyone from Miami reads this, recommend a good body shop please. Thank You.

 

you need to do it now.... im in Miami and one of my boys did it for me...

 

BTW you have any pics of your car?... to check if ive seen you around

 

don't chance it. do the tune up at the same time

 

 

can anyone recommend a reputable shop. Miami Acura wants to charge me $700+ for the service.

 

Diablo...$700 what are the belts made out of gold or laced in cocaine maybe..The most should be $300.. Changing the belts,plugs, and water pump..

 

change it now or you will be lookin at a 1500$ rework of the head.. i got pics of the head i just did of a dude i work with that has an eclipse, and his broke.. dogg i did the work for 300$ and he needed new valves, 4 new valveguides, all machine work done on head(magnaflux, pressure check, and plaining the mating surface) that only came up to 400$ in just head work, for a total of 700$ and i did all the dirty work. to include a new timing belt, and tensioners. mitsubishi wanted 500$ just to take the head off to see if any of the valves were bent. and each valve from them were gonna be 18$ a piece. x 16= 288. i got them for 11$ a piece.. eather way u can see its a bad idea to wait. ill post the pics when i get home.

 

should be around $400 every where else.... dont go to a dealer
